- Professional Road Cycling is one of a few sports in which no boundaries separate the athletes from the fans. But given the proximity of these crowds, incidents are inevitable.

The Tour de France didn't allow gears untill 1937, 34 years after the first systems appeared. Maybe it's time to cut loose with another "tradition", and just have a second event, a bike brawl, where the cyclists get protective gear and lances, and whoever impales the most spectators wins
I'm not a regular spectator of cycling but I'd watch that...
I like it!
Or better yet, cancel the crap entirely
Great idea, seems like that's exactly what the spectators want too.
@@clausmadsen1257 why?
The only thing that stays constant in sports is the intelligence of the fans
Non-sentient stupidity*
or lack thereof
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly i love sports to watch as a fan like i love Pro Wrestling other i check out as will but when u get dumb people just trying to ruin it for other fans who just trying to watch it that they pay for on Tv or live........
And the stupidity of cyclists.
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly intelligence of the fans*
The same was the case for Group B Rally. The difference being that in WRC the spectators are at risk, in cycling it's the opposite, so the spectators simply don't care because it's not their careers they're risking.
Walther Roerl and his Audi quattro.......😊 best Motorsport ever.
Some could argue that the safety measure, wrc took, killed the popularity of rally racing.
Yea with WRC, the car parts the spectators like Moses because in a battle between the spectators and a speeding car, it aint usually the spectators winning
You've obviously never been hit by a cyclist.
@@shage2595 its alot worse to get hit by a rally car tho, drivers from that era even said theyd find missing fingers in the cars cuz spectators got a bit too close, if you watch footage of group B rallying,mita absolutely mental how close the spectators are to a speeding vehicle
1200 Euros for causing that insane crash? Thats way too fucking light
Hopefully the injured sued her for medical bills and damages
Well, it was a guy on a bicycle, what do you expect?
And that’s why they’ll (fans) keep doing it
French judges pride in condemning nothing. A voluntary murder is 7 to 15 years at the moment, not more. Involuntary murder is about 2 to 7 years about and stealing a bike: you get nothing. French judges don't care about the TDF.
Welcome to France and his justice ;)
That lady caused almost the entire peloton to crash and injured several people through her blatant disregard for everyone's safety. And rather than initially owning up to what she did, she left the scene and evaded police until the media coverage was too great she knew she'd be identified sooner or later.
Punishment? 1,200 €. Barely a slap on the wrist. Absolutely sickening.
it's more like an encouragement than punishment
1200 is a lot though. European laws not strict anyway
for being stupid in a place where stupid people race with bikes its too much of a fine, bike morons had enough time to dodge it
Women and accountability don't mix 😂
@@des1nteress3For possible lifelong injuries for 100 people?
It won’t stop until people are punished severely, financially and personally. The problem individuals aren’t fans they are narcissists. The flares are another issue, the riders are moving huge volumes of air, having to breath that crap isn’t helping. Great video BTW.
🤣
Agreed. Some people are there just to watch and cheer. Nothing wrong with that. Others think everything is going to stop for a selfie.
@@rabbit0664 you want an autograph? Yeah sure imma throw my fucking title in the trash for a random entitled moron... I swear sports fans piss me off every time
"So what are you in jail for?" 🤣
Tour de France would of course just a guillotine shaped like a big mountain bike fork instead.
It won't stop. Period. As long as we have humans living on this planet, there will always be brain dead humans among us. Until the whole human race evolves into a much more intelligent species, all at once, stupid people will unfortunately always exist.
1:52 Lmfao, love the drunk guy who just ran out of energy and collapsed! Dude's body literally powered down on him...
Right, and you can't tell me that promotions didn't run that clip over and over, making lots of money for the "sport"...and then they cry when a couple of others get unruly.
The public is oblivious but the Tour de France organizers are incredible. When they do stages in Belgium (where I worked at national level for 3 stages), Spain, Holland, they have drastic requirements, safety meetings and still check the road 3 times the day before ; not a place without a flagger, policeman or a barrier. And in France, nothing, people on the shoulders, in the ditches and in the middle of the road. For spectacular actions?
Er tour de France it's in France. Why do you say they did a great job in Europe?
The spectators would probably go on strike. It's France.
@@keikeyleno what are you talking about? They do stages all over the place
@@keikeyleno ignorance is not bliss it seems
How incredible? What's their DEI score? I heard that the patriarchy still reigns. Diversity is our strength!
These "Fans" make me so angry.. imagine training all your life just to have everything ruined by a fat, drunk spectator...
If you train your whole life for driving an roadbike u did something wrong lel
People train their whole lives for as many things as one could imagine. If that gets them to a world championship, I see anything but a problem lol
they make me laugh. The whole thing is laughable.
@@333333333797 you should spend a bit of your life training your grammar
shit happens.
I am pretty confident about myself to know I would lose patience after a while and react the same way as some of those cyclists
😂 you’d go on a slap frenzy in your coolest tough guy Lycra pants?
@@Gfysimpletons Are you trying to say that "tough guy" and "Lycra pants" are incompatibles? Maybe you should ask Lance Amstrong or Greg Lemmond their thoughts about that. Or maybe you should attempts to ride 3400km, with many mountain climbs, within three weeks to show us how tough you are.
@@badouplus1304 I wouldn't mess with a man that has no testicule left.
Yet, our politicians/public officials and their handlers do far worse, so where is your loss of patience towards them?
@@FullSugarBrahOh, you are one of those guys who bring up politics no matter the subject of the video, aren't you? Why would I express my loss of patience on that matter here? Because politicians are worse that I cannot express loss of patience against a driver driving too slow in the fast lane for instance? Do me a favor man, get lost.
Human stupidity and idiocy will always be something that I'll not only ever refuse to understand but fathom as to how much of it is in some people.
Unfortunately the some people are a majority. Remember 2020?
I know they think they can just take over the roadways with their little bicycles
Try to write clearly.
@@Rufusdosseems like the other two people got it. Have a good day.
@@nightmareOlogy Just a tip dude
This also happens in rally races with horrific results for the victims
Good
They aren’t the victims if they’re pulling crap like this. It’s the driver that has to deal with the aftermath who’s the victim.
@@thejackbox there can be victims in fans.
@@djpon-374as far as im concerned its suicide. the real victims are the drivers and actually smart spectators who now have to deal with the trauma of watching people get turned into red mist
There are really too much dumb people out there…
The "Hey, what about me" crowd.
Especially in the Tour mountain stages this pisses me off so much. People just can't behave and just has to run along, hold out flags or wave right infront of riders. It only takes one person extending too much or not getting back in time and a whole Tour de France championship can change hands
I don't think its feasible for race officials to deal with all of this, so it has to be done by other fans/volunteers. If you are a fan and see theese idiots running by the side, waving flags infront of racers, then pull them to the side and stop it.
La Vuelta did an awesome job this year though, on the most popular climbs there were 100's of cops.
@@RenaxTM91 and catch an assault charge? what are you talking about? You're not allowed to touch people. If it's filmed I'd destroy you easily. ? ? ? Such an easy way to turn basic humans like you or I into criminals, who have to pay pardons to leave the country.
Dood. Do not go out and pull someone cuz they're doing something YOU don't like. Thats a criminal way of thinking (in our current system)
I DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING. The problem lies within the system the entitlement of people, and our laws that revolved around this mentality.
infront isn't a word.
Public shaming isn't allowed anymore. Their feelings and right to free expression might be infringed. This is what the liberal world order has created@@RenaxTM91
I'm primarily a motorsports fan, but I occasionally watch cycling races with my mom (who is a big fan). I get the same feeling from watching some of these crowds than I get from seeing rally spectators stand in the middle of an active stage track, and disperse at the last second before cars zoom past them at 100mph. They're just asking for a disaster to occur.
Do fans get injured or directly cause an accident at rally car races often? Because that is impressive if it didn't happen.
@@bl8danjilyes, that why FIA disbanded Group B Rally. Rally these day is more safer than in the 80s.
This was so needed! Congrats!
Problem is, you can put barriers down, like the Paris Roubaix, the problem is they are too close to the road and people leaning over are then interfering. Barriers should always be a half meter back from the roadway.
I’m not into road cycling, but I’ve done a lot of very extraneous athletic stuff and I will tell you when you’re that tired and that worn out and you’re pushing yourself that hard. It’s hard to keep your cool with people like that if I was one of those cyclists I would lose my cool I’ll be like for real just let me race smh
then dont do that
@@orkhepajdont do what?
1:38 i love how he just said good shot
Another amazing video production of an obsession inducing sport.
It's also a problem in Rally, if people don't understand that you die if you get hit by something that comes at 200 km/h on gravel, do you think it's going to happen in cycling
Ex-ac-tly
No. though I'd love to see cycling at 200 km/h though - on gravel
I totally agree , I am a freelance pro photographer and I am disgusted with the complete lack of respect the so called “fans” demonstrate. I have to “get the picture “ or I don’t get paid and I would never consider doing what the “fans” repeatedly do .
Exaxctly, you do it for money, not as a fan.
@@peristicas3119 and your point is ?
Thatwhat you said is not relevant to explain or to understand why fans want to get involved because you do it for money. TdF continues and will continue to be bad organized as always. To blame people is stupid when they don't want to pay to have te necessary resources to surpass this situations. But yeah it's also france fault, that small poor undeveloped country.
@@peristicas3119 In other words, fans dont have to show any kind of responsibility and can do as they are pleased.
@@jpsholland When what they do is what is publicized as the heart and soul of TdF first and foremost by the organizers 🤷♀ why should they listen to the employee when the boss is telling them otherwise? Probably they know that those kind of moments are the only ones when TdF truly gets world attention as in news and other media. So one could argue fans are being very responsible in making sure TdF is financially viable.
Excellent production. Every cycling fan should get this in their email.
This is a well done documentary to raise awareness. I'll have to check out some more videos on this channel.
These are not fans at the street races in my opinion, they are tourists.
Good video, worth to share.✌🙂 👍
I call them "Europeans"
@@roadcyclist1🤡🤡
Yah, because not 1 person in the street was a fan that lived in that specific city... LMFFFAAAOOO what???
Yup, the majority; if not on holidays, i would never be able to go watch a stage. For all i know, if being a tourist is a way to justify this, i would say that the majority of this accidents happen in France because we all know how french people are.
@@peristicas3119 if they're French, how are they tourists in France? To contradict ones self so easily... Sad.

And yes, I did have a nice family, unlike you 👍.
now THIS is a major IMPROVMENT to this sport. carry on folks!
The tour has to be one of the most beautiful venues of racing.
The trend now is how people behave anywhere, we’ve become such a selfish and self centred society that people can’t behave anywhere. Go to a theatre and no matter how many times a plea goes out for phones to be turned off or for no photos to be taken, some cockheads will do what they want anyway. This attitude pervades everything and everywhere.
theres no accountability for anything
The sight of that Allez Omi Oppi sign still makes my blood boil.
it makes me lmao
It's not like she'll see her grandparents ever again.
Why? That idiot tripped on a piece of cardboard 😂
Imagine being remembered like this.
Hey bro , you have the best youtube channel but I remember that you had more videos , no? Great job btw
Thank you bro. Yeah I had to remove some videos for copyright issues.
This is about making INDIVIDUALS accountable for their actions, whether intended or not.
NOTHING will change until individuals encumbering a racing event face the same penalties as other situations such as wreckless driving, pushing old ladies down out of anger, endangering children, endangering animals, etc. etc. etc.
This issue exists because we have people & legal systems unwilling to prosecute INDIVIDUALS for selfish, disrespectful, flagrant, dangerous behavior.
Accountability, people. Start demanding it! We’re TOO LARGE of a world society to accept anything less.
"wreckless driving"
What's wrong with that?
Western European laws dont work like that mate. We do not punish people severely for mistakes and/or first time offenses.
If you want that idiot shit go the americans.
@@food7479 If this sort of behaviour can be dismissed as a mistake, then I definitely want that idiot shit.
Maybe it's about holding the sport and sporting body accountable... In any other sporting event, it is the responsibility of the organisers/event governing body to make sure the athletes and spectators are safe and spend millions doing so...
Let's demand clean racing as we're at it. I know, not the same issue but oh maybe there is something to it.
Its crazy that hard enduro dirtbiking races don't seem as dangerous as this 😮
I dunno about that and despites that they look wayy cooler
Well... it's hard for the fat drunk man to climb the hill a lot of hard enduros happen on
i rly dont understand how people are watching cycling race or go there to support them like that. its just cycling. if you support one guy you see him for 10 sec at most and its over he is gone
It's not like a rally when action can happen either.

An excellent video with high-quality content! Thank you for providing valuable insights into this sport; I learned a lot!!
Our pleasure!
5:12 felt so much like a sponsored segment to me, and I'm so glad it wasn't! I don't even like cycling, but this video was a great watch.
Yeah that was a close one 😂
Been watching for decades, and only very recently that they have banned spectators altogether from the tight high elevation assent portions of the race. It is now a lot more enjoyable to watch.
6:32 Edward Hore, photo taken of the tacks left on the Kew Boulevard... yes that is me in the photo
Hello, good sir. 👍🏻
Top class content and long awaited. Thank you RIFIANBOY
Thank you Justin.
Looks like there is no difference between doing a cycle race and cycling to work every day. Danger lurks on every corner.
7:05 that hurt..If you've fell off a bike at speed onto pavement it feels like you're ready to die. I've been in multiple car accidents in my life and they don't hurt as bad.
Spectators and officials are an important part of any sport, but the line has to be drawn short of their being able to affect outcomes. Race organizers and sanctioning bodies must be held accountable when fans are allowed to encroach and officials or media act in a way that affects the race. That will fix the problem. They'll either provide tighter control or they'll just stop organizing races.
Freedom of movement, freedom of expression and in particular freedom of press are all well and good when there is a built in discipline to behave oneself in people. There is no such built-in mechanism. So people feeling entitled to the mentioned liberties will continue screwing up events (any event for that matter). Will organisers be able to control the crowd? I don't know but take a look at rally sport for comparison, especially the 90's and 00's era. I don't think it got much better since then.
If we stop calling this a sport, and recognize it for what it is--entertainment--then crashes are just part of why the audience watches. Just like NASCAR.
@@Sol_Searching bravo
@@Sol_Searchingthe tour would still be there even without the fans, you think these people paid a ticket to watch the race? It's a traditional sport and event that doesn't even need spectators. If mount everest wasn't dangerous then thousands would be there cheering people who climb it.
the video that you make are the best i have ever seen, the edit is made wonderfully. thank you
Much appreciated 🙏
Remember that some people on the route resent their town/village being shut down so someone can pedal a cycle through.
Yes.
don't blame the rider
Still doesn't exactly justify harassing or causing injury to the riders, nor is it the smartest thing.
"I don't like this event that happens in my town. I know! I'll be a nuisance. Surely I won't slow everyone down at best and cause unnecessary injury/get a blacked eye at worst"
That’s the thing with public roads though isn’t it? You don’t own them. So tough tits basically.
Go complain to your local authority, if enough people don’t want it they’ll move it. If you’re just a grumpy guss and more people like the sport or the economic boost to the areas you’ll just have to lump it
@@thecollector4753 You pretty much sumed up protesting.

6:30 „Funfact“: in the early times of the Tour, the riders themselves carried nails to throw them behind for their opponents. These nails where specially constructed with a thicker head so that they automatically stood upright. Absolutely crazy
And were can i find the source of this?
Lol they should do two seater races so there can be a driver and guy on the back to throw items and punches like in mario kart double dash
@@jpsholland check the book from Benjo Maso. German title „Der Schweiß der Götter“. Pages 35 & 41.
Impressive book.
Here, here. I say, let's bring back spiked balls and chains.
I heard that early tour de France was brutal with people cheating
Without this video I didn't know or even imagine there were incidents like these in bike races, I could never understand the mentality of sport fans (or anything similar)...
I used to love road cycling, I was so fascinated by it as a 4-6 year old... That all changed when the fire nation attacked.
Back in my childhood, the TdF had this larger than life presence in media, you could more or less watch it any time of day while it was on, sort of like Olympics or the World Cup. And of course the riders were national heroes; it seemed like warriors facing each other. In the city I grew up in, there was a bike race with a 3km loop at the end with a lot of elevation change which the riders went through 3 times. Luckily, that part of the track was right next to my house so I got to see people coming by a lot. Even then, there were motorbikes seemingly driving as fast as possible while as close as possible along the track to shoo the spectators back. I saw an elderly man get hit in the head by a passing motorcycle upwards of 60-70km/h, they needed to call an ambulance for him, he had a concussion and was bleeding. The motorcycle just kept on speeding down the road, I don't think the motorcyclist realized what he'd done but certainly didn't seem phased by making contact in the least since he kept going as close as possible to the pavement, occasionally brushing/bumping spectators. The complete disregard for safety from the people accompanying the race has always been traumatic for me, I can't say what I'd do to that guy but it's not pretty.
Then I found out about doping; I noticed the crashes, the completely reckless motorbikes, the crowd having no sense of perspective or group intelligence much more intensely; everyone inches closer to the center of the road because your neighbor just inched closer and all of a sudden the road is barely a meter wide. I can no longer watch cycling on public roads because my blood pressure shoots up EVERY TIME the Peloton comes close to spectators. I *expect* some random brain amputee to cause a huge crash through their own incompetence, statistically speaking I can't convince myself it'd be unlikely. But when I see a spectator such as that French woman with her sign demolish half the field, I can no longer put the rage I feel into words. I want to vent my frustration at how awful humanity can be by punching her in the face until she agrees to do a public apology and do nothing but social work for the next decade. I know that's f**ked up but I need to vent how the thing I used to love fills me with so much rage now due to people being insufferably stupid to the point I want to smack their head into a wall until they change; which they won't.
I have the identical reaction to watching the crowds at the big Tours and, like you and for the very same reasons (doping included), I stopped watching cycling after that woman brought down the Peloton with her cardboard sign. Even this CZcams video sent me into a rage. If only we could reach out a punch those idiots through the screen.
Yep. If you mess up, you take responsibility for it. You ruin someone else's life, accept that your own will be ruined. Eye for an eye. Life for a life.
Road cycling should probably learn a lesson or two from WRC rally, which has had issues of it's own with the spectators. The difference is, that in rally lack of crowd control has lead to numerous spectators losing their lives.
Barriers cannot be put everywhere, but posts and plastic lines can be put in quite a few locations, as they are cheap, fast and easy to install. Effective route clearing is needed - something similar to how law enforcement might clear a path for a motorcade (lead vehicles far ahead, bikes etc. here and there to keep the spectators out). Publishing maps of prohibited and designated spectator areas might help too.
Reckless spectators need to be taken seriously. If everything else fails, officials must have the framework and guts to suspend or cancel a race if spectators are too reckless. Otherwise we'll see more severe injuries, perhaps even loss of life.
bro we talk about bycicles. its basically impossible to kill someone with a bike.
@@ErikvsLenny true. Even until here, car people continue to think that bicycles and cars are the same. Things are very different.
@@benedicvelasco I live in Germany. People are so delusional here - they are forcing bycicle driver on the street with the cars to not endanger people on the sidewalk.
What it actually does its increasing the rate on "Cars to Bycicle deaths" . A lot of people die here recently because of that.
People cant see the different between a car and a bicycle accident and a Bicycle to human accident. its super cringe.
Btw - i get fined 40 Euros if i dont risk my life on the street lol.
The problem is the speed, they are going "so slow" up some of the mountains. They do have lead vehicles like the red skoda at TDF and moto's but because of the speed people just get back on the road after it has been cleared. And they have to leave room in front of the riders for attacks or not give a draft. Just look at pogacar getting blocked on stage 14 or the froome accident.
@@ErikvsLenny It's much safer to ride a bicycle on the street that on the sidewalk.
And of course, riding a bicycle is dangerous - every rider knows that.
Very informative and frightening at the same time.
most underrated documentARY cHANELL
I sometimes work as a traffic controller at sports events including bike races and even I have had to pull fans off the road, and I don't even work at large events but just small local races.
Idiots are everywhere and some just don't seem to care and just cross the road right in front of the riders.

deliberately putting others at risk is a crime. arrests must be made on the spot whenever safe.
Yes, all those cyclists pedalling madly near to pedestrians.
'Rat trap' pedals were used before 1900 :O
Well over a century of scraped shins! ♥
I did not know this AMAZING and unbelievable
It seems people in general are no longer capable of behaving in any manner which could be considered appropriate. It’s now all about social media clout and a moment of perceived fame, because that’s all they have to live for.
Some people are just selfish and some even want to drag others to their mess.
As a cyclist, driver and motorbike rider I try to obey every single rule and polite but in the end people with their phones or distracted or for pure evil sake(yeah real psychos) or just bad luck will get you on the floor or hospital.
Even I, a commuting cyclist would always say that: "A small mistake or issue on the bike could lead to my death or someone else's harm". If those "Fans" know how vulnerable a cyclist is, they would not do this shenanigan.
This is like Group B rally but with cycling lmao
Well researched and super well made!
En los posocs años que tengo viendo competencias de ciclismo, esas actitudes son lo que más me molesta, como admirador y como ciclista, no entiendo como alguien que dice amar el deporte tiene esas actitudes
Do they suspend the rules of the road for those events? Just wondering about the person on the zebra crossing, and what the law was.
Seems like crowd control needs some work.
Now this makes me want to go to a race. I never even wanted to but after this video. Looks like some excitement
I thought rally racing fans were bad. This is insane.
I think that getting the motor vehicles off the course would be a good start. I think that's a big part of the lack of respect for the race course. Yeah I know that would change things like wheel changes and camera angles but so be it.
The problem is these are public roads. Most people dont care about the bike race, and some even hate it because it a disturbance. Thats why you have saboteurs. I remember a triathlon that went right by my place in college and to go to the pool across the street could only be done by going to a designated crossing almost a mile down the road. It was only a problem for 8 hours, but still it was annoying. I can imagine the tour de France having many years its something that causes problems for people for long times multiple years until they snap.
Only a problem for 8 hours. Had to walk a couple miles oh stop whining. Mfs want shit their way all the fucking time like they own the city and fucking roads.
As far as I know, all these races are held, if not with the participation of the state, then at least have permission to be held. If someone is dissatisfied, he has the right to file a complaint with government authorities.
Doesn’t give you the right to hurt others

So basically Group B cycling
im not a fan of bike races, but even i get furious whenever i see spectators blocking the road because drunk or too enthusiastic, trying to sabotage,...
Sports-fans are so smart and well rounded.
Another couple incidents with spectator happened this year as well during the Tour de France.
Sorry, I know I shouldn't but I can never help- but smile a little when I see a sudden tangle of lycra and bike wheels . I live in an area where for some reason theres high number lycra warriors clogging up the narrow bendy roads. The amount of appointments I've missed because they monopolize the roads in their rank and file cycling and refuse to let you pass. So when I see this I think, awesome, they don't like being inconvenienced either.
What do you do as a sport?
Imagine being so delicate that you are effected by a piece of card
In my territory there has been the cycling world cup in 2020 and no incident occurred, maybe because in this part of Italy 1 person over 3 is a ciclyst myself included, so we showed respect to the athletes.
In my opinion the tour de france is a global reference for ciclysm so a lot of people are going there just because they are exhibitionists that don't care at all about what really happening but because they want their moment of visibility, resulting in to destroy all of what a noble sport show would be.
I was a young American girl who recently got into cycling in 8th grade. The first time I got to watch a race on the big TV I saw Froome running with his bike up the hill and was so confused LMAO
You wouldn’t think spectators could be so stupid. But here we are.
I dont even know how to ride a bike, but i play sports. These freaking ppl need to be put in jail
If they were true fans, they’d show more respect :(
The moral of the story for Fans.
Never meet your heroes and never get in their way.
More likely "your heroes isn't your toys" and "road not a place for play (selfie etc)".
The horse in the race 🤣🤣Horse is like what is happening where are we going! I gotta win this thing!

You can't really get mad at the animals.
Look at these clowns shouting "1st 2nd 3rd" and so on
